This is the last week of the Genius Hour blog posts and needless to say, I'm honestly kind of sad to see it go. I've learned so much about myself during the duration of this project. I learned that I shouldn't force myself to do anything and I also learned how to prioritize my busy schedule better. This week was just as busy as ever. The life guarding and CPR/AED Certification course takes so much time. It's split up into modules that you must take and then you have to take a big exam. I'm currently on module 30 out of 49. The whole course is pretty boring and stressful, so since I didn't have anything to do in between, I played some guitar. It relaxed me instead of getting mad about missing questions. I have to turn in all of my school lacrosse uniforms and equipment on Thursday right after school. It's crazy to believe how fast this project has gone by. This whole year has gone by so fast. I can still remember starting my first blog post and being so confused about what to do. I can remember the first time I picked up a guitar and wondering what the heck I was doing. I can remember how much my fingers hurt after the first few weeks from playing guitar. There were so many memories made in this project. My favorite has to be in Boone over spring break whenever I was sitting on the porch just playing guitar looking out over the mountains. I didn't come anywhere near my goal of being able to play guitar, but I won't let that stop me from learning how to play. You know, I hardly know how to do any chords and can only imagine playing an actual song, but I don't really see that as a failure. I'm so proud of myself for pushing myself out of my comfort zone and trying something new. I managed to stay patient throughout the duration of the project (well.... maybe). I will definitely continue to try to learn how to become a better guitar player. Playing guitar has helped me learn new things about myself, and I've only been playing for a few weeks. I can only imagine what playing guitar will teach me with a year of time. With all of that said, that concludes my Genius Hour project blog page. I've truly enjoyed this project will take all the things I have learned with me throughout the rest of my life.
